Retention
In working with adult learners, I have found that they have a whole different set of daily problems that are not unlike our own. They may be a single parent, or trying to pay bills working 2 jobs, while just trying to make ends meet until they reach the goal of a better life for their family. As the instructors, I think its important to see them as individuals and not assume that everyone is dealing with the same stressors. We need to be involved and pay attention to individuality to help our students be successful.
